DJ Gregg MacDonald : Gregg started as a mobile DJ in 1989, performing at general functions, bars and nightclubs and he hasn't stopped since. He decided to leave the house party and bar scene behind and take the necessary steps in refining his DJ skills and focus his business on weddings. Gregg performed his first wedding in 1994 and has over 1,400 events to his credit. Gregg is an exclusive wedding DJ and performs 60 weddings a year from Boston to the Cape.  

Why you should consider Gregg for your wedding : Professional, organized, easygoing and he knows his music. Old enough to remember the Oldies and the 70's and still young enough to keep up with the Top 40, Modern Rock + Hip Hop hits of today. His MC style is conservative, making announcements only when necessary in a professional manner. Gregg is very hands-on, always accessible standing at his system, selecting and mixing every song manually. Gregg keeps a busy schedule because of his knowledge of music, laid-back personality and no-nonsense style of DJ entertainment.

Gregg shoots on today's wedding DJ : "The general opinion is that wedding DJs are cheesy and annoying. I wouldn't go that far, but I will agree there are plenty of DJs with huge egos who cannot turn their microphone off or refrain from leading the crowd in a line dance. I'm not an innovator, but my experience in this business was built on "less is more" with a tasteful presentation and professional behavior. When it comes to music, too many DJs are stuck in the past and have gotten too comfortable with their selection of music. They're afraid to throw anything different or new in the mix. They play the standard wedding mix. Instrumental Jazz for cocktail hour, Easy Listening during dinner, Disco and Oldies for dancing and that's it, wedding over. Same music, different wedding. While that's ok for some people, I know that brides and grooms today want more variety, something different that will separate their wedding from the next. I stay on top of different genres and new music as I never wanted to be just another DJ going through the motions. I take pride in my ability of keeping people the dance floor packed without playing the same boring songs week after week. It doesn't take talent to play the same mix every wedding or throw a bag of cheap hats out to the crowd and play YMCA. Any DJ can do that. It's about reading the crowd and playing the right songs at the right time."
